Up-to-date Windows Installation Media

Microsoft only provides Windows 7 installation media with service pack 1 applied. After every new installation, you have to apply over 150 updates. This is very time consuming.
Is there a way to integrate updates packages in the Windows installation disk?

Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to manipulate the image. DISM.exe gets shipped with Windows 7. You can integrate updates or drivers and even language packs.

prerequisites:
First you need an ISO-Image of a windows 7 Boot-DVD and an empty USB-stick with more than 6GB space.
If you have a Windows DVD SP1, create an ISO-Image e.g. with http://www.imgburn.com/

Next, create a Windows boot stick:
download the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. e.g. from http://wudt.codeplex.com/
Install and follow the 4 steps to create the stick. (ALL DATA on the STICK will be LOST)
